Two NG Bailey electricians have been hailed for a critical safety intervention that potentially halted a serious incident.
Greg Henderson and Daniel Dickinson were working for NG Bailey on the Sellafield Product and Residue Store Retreatment Plant (SRP) when they had a mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) delivered to the site.
During the initial pre-use checks of the Skyjack Scissor MEWP, they discovered that the protective handrail around the basket had become detached, due to a fault with the securing bolt that holds the two handrail sections together.
This quick identification and action prevented a potentially serious incident to keep everyone on PPP Knowingly Safe.
In recognition of their diligence and commitment to safety, Greg and Daniel were presented with Value Awards by Kent Fearon, NG Bailey – SRP Safety Manager.
He said: “This incident highlights the critical importance of the pre-use checks on equipment.
“These awards celebrate individuals who go above and beyond, clearly demonstrating our core values, particularly regarding safety. Well done, Greg and Daniel, on your outstanding contribution.”
